About this study

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of a weight management program for men undergoing a prostatectomy by seeing if the program is easy to follow, impacts weight gain, and reduces risk of cancer recurrence in the participants.

Read the detailed description

The weight management program is designed to help participants lose weight before their prostatectomy and to help them maintain that weight loss after surgery. There are four main components to the weight management program. The four components of the program are:

  1. Diet
  2. Physical activity
  3. Coaching
  4. Diet and exercise monitoring tool

The program will be tailored to each individual participant. All participants will be ask to monitor their program using a tool provided by the study team. Participants will be actively participating in the study activities for about 5 months. After that, the study team will review medical records for up to 10 years after enrollment to monitor weight changes and cancer status.

Study groups in NCT02252484
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Weight loss intervention GroupExperimentalParticipants will receive tailor weight loss program. Participants will complete 8-weeks of the weight loss intervention prior to having their prostatectomy (weight loss phase). Program includes individual weight coaching, tailored diet and exercise plan, weight coaching and tracking of daily activities. Sessions will be held weekly during the weight loss phase. The groups will be facilitated by a registered dietitian with genitourinary (GU) oncology experience.
Receives: Other: Weight Loss Program
Comparison GroupActive comparatorAll patients who are unwilling or not ready to engage in a weight loss program will be offered entry into the comparison group arm.
Receives: Other: Standard of Care

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Change in body weight during the post-surgical period

    Measured: Change from Surgery to Week 20

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Changes in body weight during the pre-surgical weight-loss intervention

    Measured: Change from Baseline to Week 8

  2. Changes in diet quality during the pre-surgical weight-loss intervention

    Changes will be measured by analyzing results from alternative healthy eating index scores.

    Measured: Change from Baseline to Week 8

  3. Prostate cancer status

    Evidence of recurrence of cancer

    Measured: Week 20

  4. Change in cardiovascular biomarkers

    Changes will be measured by analyzing changes in participants lipid panel, c-reactive protein, fasting insulin and fasting glucose.

    Measured: Change from Baseline to Week 20
